Aditxt, Inc. 10-K

Item 1. Business. Overview and Mission We believe the world needs—and deserves—a new approach to innovating that harnesses the power of large groups of stakeholders who work together to ensure that the most promising innovations make it into the hands of people who need them most. We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 28, 2017, and our headquarters are in Mountain View, California. The company was founded with a mission of bringing stakeholders together, to transform promising innovations into products and services that could address some of the most challenging needs. The socialization of innovation through engaging stakeholders in every aspect of it, is key to transforming more innovations, more rapidly, and more efficiently. At inception, the first innovation we took on was an immune modulation technology titled ADI/Adimune with a focus on prolonging life and enhancing life quality of patients that have undergone organ transplants. Since then, we expanded our portfolio of innovations, and we continue to evaluate a variety of promising health innovations. Our Model Aditxt is not about a single idea or a single molecule. We believe that it is about making sure the right innovation is made possible. Our business model has three main components as follows: (1) Securing an Innovation: Our process begins with identifying and securing innovations through licensing or acquisition of an innovation asset. Assets come from a variety of sources including research institutions, government agencies, and private organizations. (2) Growing an Innovation: Once an innovation is secured, we surround it with activation resources that take a systemized approach to bringing that idea to life. Our activation resources include innovation, operations, commercialization, finance, content and engagement, personnel, and administration. (3) Monetizing an Innovation: Our goal is for each innovation to become commercial-stage and financially and operationally self-sustainable, to create shareholder value. We engage various stakeholders for each of our programs on every level. This includes identifying researchers and research institution partners, such as Stanford University; leading health institutions to get critical trials underway, such as Mayo Clinic; manufacturing partners who enable us to take innovations from preclinical to clinical; municipalities and governments, such as the city of Richmond and the state of Virginia and public health agencies who work with us to launch our program, Pearsanta’s laboratory; and thousands of shareholders around the globe. We seek to enable promising innovation to become purposeful products that have the power to change lives. Our Value Proposition We believe that far too often, promising treatment or technology does not reach commercialization due to lack of expertise, key resources, or efficiency. As a result, potentially life-changing and lifesaving treatments are not available to the individuals who so desperately need them. Aditxt seeks to bring the holistic concept of an efficient, socialized ecosystem for advancing and accelerating innovations. Our process: We seek to license or acquire promising innovations. We will then form and build out a subsidiary around each innovation and support the subsidiaries through innovation, operation, commercialization, content and engagement, finance, personnel, and administration to thrive and grow as a successful, monetizable business. Since our inception, we have built infrastructure consisting of innovation, operation, commercialization, content and engagement, finance, personnel, and administration, to support the rapid transformation of untapped innovations. Each of the main components of our infrastructure has established global access to partnerships with industry leaders, top-rated research and medical institutions, universities, manufacturing and distribution companies, and critical infrastructure such as CLIA-certified state-of-the art labs and manufacturing. The Shifting Landscape of Innovation Innovation in general, and health innovations specifically, require significant resources. The convergence of biotech, high-tech, and media offers new possibilities of accelerating breakthrough innovations faster and more efficiently. This approach reflects our mission of “Making Promising Innovations Possible, Together”. We believe that people deserve innovative solutions, which have never been more within reach. We believe the best idea, best product and the best solution will come from creating an ecosystem where all stakeholders, such as vendors, customers, municipalities, and shareholders contribute. When we disrupt the way we’re innovating, through our collaborative model, we believe we can move faster and more efficiently to activate viable solutions that have the potential to make a measurable impact. 1 Our Growth Strategy We believe that the era of precision and personalized medicine is here and that people around the globe would benefit from health diagnostics and treatments that more accurately pinpoint the problems and more precisely treat the condition. In addition to our current programs, Adimune and Pearsanta, we look to bring in future health innovations in the areas of software and AI, medical devices, therapeutics, and other technologies that take a fundamentally different approach to health because they prioritize personalized precision medicine, timely disease root cause analysis, and targeted treatments. Year over year, we plan to continue building our infrastructure and securing more personalized and precision health innovations that align with our mission. These opportunities may come in different forms such as IP, an early-stage company, or a late-stage company. We will continue to scale our systemized approach to the innovation process, making large-scale automation and enterprise systems available to our portfolio companies at every stage of their growth. Specifically, certain subsidiaries will need to grow through further M&A activities, operational infrastructure implementation, and development or acquisition of critical technologies. Our Team Aditxt is led by an entrepreneurial team with passion for transforming promising innovations into successful businesses. Our leadership come from a variety of different industries, with collective expertise in founding startup innovation companies, developing and marketing biopharmaceutical and diagnostic products, designing clinical trials, manufacturing, and management of private and public companies. We have deep experience in identifying and accessing promising health innovations and developing them into products and services with the ability to scale. We understand the capital markets, both public and private, as well as M&A and facilitating complex IPOs. The following are profiles of three subsidiaries we have formed, including the terms of the intellectual property licenses that have been sublicensed from Aditxt to help build each of the businesses. THE ADITXT PROGRAMS We are a commercial-stage company with a mission of bringing stakeholders together, to transform promising innovations into products and services that could address some of the most challenging needs . Our current focus spans five critical areas: immune health, precision health, population health, women’s health, and neurologic health. We are developing a robust portfolio and pipeline of products at various stages of development and also regularly seek to acquire complementary assets and products through acquisitions and other strategic transactions. Set forth below is a summary of our current programs.

Formed in January 2023, Adimune™, Inc. (“Adimune”) is focused on leading our immune modulation therapeutic programs. Adimune’s proprietary immune modulation product Apoptotic DNA Immunotherapy™ (ADI™) utilizes a novel approach that mimics the way our bodies naturally induce tolerance to our own tissues. It includes two DNA molecules designed to deliver signals to induce tolerance. ADI-100, the first product candidate based on the ADI platform, is designed to tolerize against an antigen known as glutamic acid decarboxylase (“GAD”), which is implicated in type-1 diabetes, psoriasis, and in many autoimmune diseases of the CNS and has been successfully tested in several preclinical models (e.g., skin grafting, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis). All preclinical studies ADI-100 have been completed providing several data points supporting the potential effectiveness of ADI-100 in restoring durable tolerance over the 10-month duration of the T1D studies both in prevention and treatment study designs. Preclinical safety and toxicology studies have shown absence of drug toxicity, no antibody formation to the drug product, and a lack of persistence in all organs evaluated. Furthermore, Adimune has demonstrated in three separate preclinical studies that ADI-100 does not impair the responsiveness of the immune system to combat infection, cancer, or the tumor fighting capabilities of checkpoint inhibitors. Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) clinical-grade drug substances have been successfully manufactured by a qualified contract manufacturer. The clinical grade drug substances are now being prepared for shipment to another contract manufacturer to be formulated into the final drug product in preparation for stability testing and use in the clinical trials pending required regulatory submissions. Lastly, two remaining drug product release assays specifically designed for ADI-100 are in the final stages of validation to be used once the final drug product is ready. Preclinical and manufacturing data, including the clinical-grade drug substance, are essential components of the complete dossier that we intend to submit to the regulatory agencies, which evaluate the safety and quality of the final drug product to be administered in the clinical trials. Adimune has had pre-submission meetings with the regulatory agency in Germany and has completed the additional studies requested. For the clinical trials that are planned in Germany, Adimune has engaged with a Contract Research Organization (CRO) to manage the process, including site selection for clinical studies planned in psoriasis and type 1 diabetes. In parallel, Adimune is working with the Mayo Clinic to prepare the IND package for FDA submission and is awaiting a pre-IND meeting expected in the second quarter of this year to review the package before full submission. In May 2023, Adimune entered into a clinical trial agreement with Mayo Clinic to advance clinical studies targeting autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (“CNS”) with the initial focus on the rare, but debilitating, autoimmune disease Stiff Person Syndrome (“SPS”). According to the National Organization of Rare Diseases, the exact incidence and prevalence of SPS is unknown; however, one estimate places the incidence at approximately one in one million individuals in the general population. Pending approval by the International Review Board and U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a human trial for SPS is expected get underway in 2025 with enrollment of 10-20 patients, some of whom may also have type 1 diabetes. ADI-100 will initially be tested for safety and efficacy. 3 Background The discovery of immunosuppressive (anti-rejection and monoclonal) drugs over 40 years ago has made possible life-saving organ transplantation procedures and blocking of unwanted immune responses in autoimmune diseases. However, immune suppression leads to significant undesirable side effects, such as increased susceptibility to life-threatening infections and cancers, because it indiscriminately and broadly suppresses immune function throughout the body. While the use of these drugs has been justifiable because they prevent or delay organ rejection, their use for treatment of autoimmune diseases and allergies may not be acceptable because of the aforementioned side effects. Furthermore, often transplanted organs ultimately fail despite the use of immune suppression, and about 40% of transplanted organs survive no more than five years. Through Aditxt, Adimune has the right of use to the exclusive worldwide license for commercializing ADI nucleic acid-based technology (which is currently at the pre-clinical stage) from Loma Linda University. ADI uses a novel approach that mimics the way the body naturally induces tolerance to our own tissues (“therapeutically induced immune tolerance”). While immune suppression requires continuous administration to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ, induction of tolerance has the potential to retrain the immune system to accept the organ for longer periods of time. ADI may allow patients to live with transplanted organs with significantly reduced immune suppression. ADI is a technology platform which we believe can be engineered to address a wide variety of indications. Advantages ADI™ is a nucleic acid-based technology ( e.g. , DNA-based), which we believe selectively suppresses only those immune cells involved in attacking or rejecting self and transplanted tissues and organs. It does so by tapping into the body’s natural process of cell turnover (i.e., apoptosis) to retrain the immune system to stop unwanted attacks on self or transplanted tissues. Apoptosis is a natural process used by the body to clear dying cells and to allow recognition and tolerance to self-tissues. ADI triggers this process by enabling the cells of the immune system to recognize the targeted tissues as “self.” Conceptually, it is designed to retrain the immune system to accept the tissues, similar to how natural apoptosis reminds our immune system to be tolerant to our own “self” tissues. While various groups have promoted tolerance through cell therapies and ex vivo manipulation of patient cells (i.e., takes place outside the body), to our knowledge, we will be unique in our approach of using in-body induction of apoptosis to promote tolerance to specific tissues. In addition, ADI treatment itself will not require additional hospitalization but only an injection of minute amounts of the therapeutic drug into the skin. Moreover, preclinical studies have demonstrated that ADI treatment significantly and substantially prolongs graft survival, in addition to successfully “reversing” other established immune-mediated inflammatory processes. License Agreement with Loma Linda University (“LLU”) On March 15, 2018, we entered into a License Agreement with LLU, which was subsequently amended on July 1, 2020. Pursuant to the LLU License Agreement, we obtained the exclusive royalty-bearing worldwide license to all intellectual property, including patents, technical information, trade secrets, proprietary rights, technology, know-how, data, formulas, drawings, and specifications, owned or controlled by LLU and/or any of its affiliates (the “LLU Patent and Technology Rights”) and related to therapy for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (the Adi™ technology). In consideration for the LLU License Agreement, we issued 1 shares of Common Stock to LLU. 4 PEARSANTA, INC. Formed in January 2023, our majority owned subsidiary Pearsanta™, Inc. (“Pearsanta”) seeks to take personalized medicine to a new level by delivering “Health by the Numbers.” On November 22, 2023, Pearsanta entered into an assignment agreement with FirstVitals LLC, an entity controlled by Pearsanta’s CEO, Ernie Lee (“FirstVitals”), pursuant to which FirstVitals assigned its rights in certain intellectual property and website domain to Pearsanta in consideration of the issuance of 8,334 shares of Pearsanta common stock to FirstVitals. On December 18, 2023, the board of directors of Pearsanta adopted the Pearsanta 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Pearsanta Omnibus Incentive Plan”), pursuant to which it reserved 15 million shares of common stock of Pearsanta for future issuance under the Pearsanta Omnibus Incentive Plan and the Pearsanta 2023 Parent Service Provider Equity Incentive Plan (the “Pearsanta Parent Service Provider Plan”) and approved the issuance of 9.32 million options, exercisable into shares of Pearsanta common stock under the Pearsanta Parent Service Provider Plan and the issuance of 4.0 million options, exercisable into shares of Pearsanta common stock, subject to vesting, and 1.0 million restricted common stock shares under the Pearsanta Omnibus Incentive Plan. On January 4, 2024, Pearsanta completed its acquisition of certain assets of MDNA Life Sciences Inc., pursuant to which Pearsanta acquired the Mitomic® Technology platform, patents, and intellectual property in consideration of 5 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, Warrants to purchase 5 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and 5,000 shares of the Pearsanta Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On January 13, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized management to explore taking Pearsanta public via a proposed initial public offering in 2025. On March 21, 2025, Pearsanta acquired certain patents related to the detection of DNA adducts for detection of changes to the DNA that may lead to potentially disease-causing mutations, in consideration of 200 shares of Pearsanta Series B Preferred Stock. We believe that the best approach may be its early detection. Pearsanta is pioneering the development of molecular tests based on the mitochondrial genome to develop tests for early detection of cancer. Though further technical development and clinical validation is required to determine efficacy in multiple diseases and disease states, our management believes that the unique structural and functional characteristics of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and more specifically mutated mtDNA, make mtDNA a biological system for biomarker identification, early disease detection, monitoring, risk assessment, and therapeutic targeting. Pearsanta acquired the assets of MDNA Life Sciences Inc. on January 4, 2024. Through the acquisition of these assets, and in particular the Mitomic Technology platform, patents, and intellectual property, our management believes that the Pearsanta is well positioned for research and discovery of mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers, and though untested and requiring clinical validation, the development and commercial application of mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers for a wide spectrum of human diseases. Pearsanta is continuing to leverage this technology to discover mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers. Though Pearsanta has no commercially available FDA or foreign regulator approved products, Pearsanta has two product candidates in develop and hopes to enter the cancer screening market with these two product candidates, and if proven successful continue to discover mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers and develop a pipeline of disease screening and diagnostics tests. The current in-development products include a potential product for prostate cancer diagnosis and a potential product for the detection of endometriosis. Pearsanta has also discovered mitochondrial DNA based biomarkers, which it believes are associated with ovarian cancer and lung cancer; and Pearsanta intends to pursue the biomarker identification phase of development for pancreatic, liver, breast, stomach, esophageal, and colorectal cancers. Licensed Technologies – AditxtScore TM We issued Pearsanta an exclusive worldwide sub-license for commercializing the AditxtScore™ technology which provides a personalized comprehensive profile of the immune system. AditxtScore is intended to detect individual immune responses to viruses, bacteria, peptides, drugs, supplements, bone marrow and solid organ transplants, and cancer. It has broad applicability to many other agents of clinical interest impacting the immune system, including those not yet identified such as emerging infectious agents. 5 AditxtScore is being developed to enable individuals and their healthcare providers to understand, manage and monitor their immune profiles and to stay informed about attacks on or by their immune system. We believe AditxtScore can also assist the medical community and individuals by being able to anticipate the immune system’s potential response to viruses, bacteria, allergens, and foreign tissues such as transplanted organs. This technology may be able to serve as a warning signal, thereby allowing for more time to respond appropriately. Its advantages include the ability to provide simple, rapid, accurate, high throughput assays that can be multiplexed to determine the immune status with respect to several factors simultaneously, in approximately 3-16 hours. In addition, it can determine and differentiate between distinct types of cellular and humoral immune responses (e.g., T and B cells and other cell types). It also provides for simultaneous monitoring of cell activation and levels of cytokine release (i.e., cytokine storms). In collaboration with its partners, the platforms underlying AditxtScore are being further evaluated for evaluating the immune status of individuals including those with hypersensitivity to certain antigens (e.g., patients with autoimmunity). These tests may become tools that can monitor dynamic changes after administration of immunotherapies designed to tolerize to these target antigens. Advantages The sophistication of the AditxtScore technology includes the following: ● greater sensitivity/specificity. ● 20-fold higher dynamic range, greatly reducing signal to noise compared to conventional assays. ● ability to customize assays and multiplex a large number of analytes with speed and efficiency. ● ability to test for cellular immune responses (i.e., T and B cells and cytokines). ● proprietary reporting algorithm. License Agreement with Leland Stanford Junior University (“Stanford”) On February 3, 2020, we entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “February 2020 License Agreement”) with Stanford with regard to a patent concerning a method for detection and measurement of specific cellular responses. Pursuant to the February 2020 License Agreement, we received an exclusive worldwide license to Stanford’s patent with regard to use, import, offer, and sale of Licensed Products (as defined in the agreement). The license to the patented technology is exclusive, including the right to sublicense, beginning on the effective date of the agreement, and ending when the patent expires. Under the exclusivity agreement, we acknowledged that Stanford had already granted a non-exclusive license in the Nonexclusive Field of Use, under the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Field of Use in the Licensed Territory (as those terms are defined in the “February 2020 License Agreement”). However, Stanford agreed not to grant further licenses under the Licensed Patents in the Licensed Field of Use in the Licensed Territory. On December 29, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the February 2020 License Agreement which extended our exclusive right to license the technology deployed in AditxtScore TM and securing worldwide exclusivity in all fields of use of the licensed technology. Acquired Technologies – Mitomic® Technology Platform In January 2024 Pearsanta acquired the assets comprising our Mitomic® Technology platform from MDNA Life Sciences Inc. This platform seeks to harness the unique properties of mitochondrial DNA (“mtDNA”) to detect disease through non-invasive, blood-based liquid biopsies. Though further technical development and clinical validation is required to determine efficacy in multiple diseases and disease states, our management believes that the unique structural and functional characteristics of mtDNA, and more specifically mutated mtDNA, make mtDNA a biological system for biomarker identification, early disease detection, monitoring, risk assessment, and therapeutic targeting. Pearsanta plans to license distribution rights through various agreements with U.S.-based and international business partners to commercialize our Mitomic® Technology, should Mitomic® tests be successfully developed and successfully approved by the FDA or a foreign regulator. We believe our biomarker portfolio covers many high-clinical need cancers, with potential applications outside oncology. 6 Aditxt leases and operates a state-of-the-art facility located in Richmond VA, that is a high-complexity, CLIA-certified, and CAP-accredited laboratory equipped to accommodate rapid development and rollout of innovative laboratory tests for the clinical market. Our laboratory facility is optimized for contamination prevention including dedicated workspaces for key functions; advanced molecular biology capabilities including digital PCR, real-time PCR, automated electrophoresis with scale-up capacity and redundancy; and automated and semi-automated (robotic) processes for DNA/RNA isolation and liquid handling to achieve efficient and standardized workflows. Our Mitomic® Products and Product Candidates The Mitomic® Technology targets mutations in mitochondrial DNA to detect disease. Every human cell is home to multiple copies of mitochondrial DNA, some of which become mutated beyond repair when cells are stressed by diseases such as cancer. Though further technical development and clinical validation is required to determine efficacy, Mitomic® tests are being designed to detect this mutated DNA, which can accumulate from the very early stages of a disease. If the development of Mitomic® tests is successful and if Mitomic® tests can achieve their still unproven objective of early disease detection, our Mitomic® Technology presents an opportunity to detect disease before it presents clinically. The Mitomic® Technology platform is designed to identify biomarker targets, develop robust assays, discover new biomarkers, and develop new products. The biomarker identification program is based on the identification of a new class of molecules generated through a process associated with mitochondria. The Mitomic® Technology platform has already discovered biomarkers which are believed to be associated with cancer and has generated an “in-silico” database, which is an experiment that generates thousands of potential biomarkers, developed through computer software and simulation. To date, the Mitomic® Technology biomarker discoveries have identified numerous biomarker targets from the in-silico database and we plan to use these biomarker targets in its various assay development programs. Mitomic® Prostate Test (MPT™) is currently in development and is being designed as a blood-based assay that quantifies the level of the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion. Published analytical data for the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion associated with prostate cancer, suggests the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion may be able to identify clinically significant prostate cancer for men in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) grey zone (PSA < 10ng/ml) and if proven through ongoing clinical study, the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion may be able to aid in the decision to biopsy. Some of the significant clinical challenges that have not been met for prostate cancer are that up to 50% of men will be ‘over’ diagnosed with cancer that never harms them 1 and the risks associated with treatment of low-grade cancers (≤ Gleason 6) appear to outweigh the benefits –e.g. urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction. 1 NIH National Cancer Institute reports this number is even higher at ~ 75% based on 5-year survival rates. Seer database (https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/prost.html). Our Mitomic® Prostate Test is in development and is being designed with the following objectives: ● Simple – The test is expected to be completed using a patient’s blood sample and is not expected to require an algorithm. ● Provide New Information – If ongoing clinical studies support the published analytical data for the 3.4kb mitochondrial DNA deletion, healthcare providers will be provided with new information related to clinically significant prostate cancer – independent of PSA, age, and family history. Mitomic Endometriosis Test (MET™) is currently in development and is being designed as a blood-based assay that quantifies the level of one or more mitochondrial DNA deletions which published analytical data suggest are associated with endometriosis – a condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 women according to Endometriosis World and the World Health Organization. The Mitomic Endometriosis Test is intended for use in females of child-bearing age who present symptoms of endometriosis to determine whether medical or surgical intervention is warranted. 7 Endometriosis occurs when the tissue of the uterus (endometrium) grows on areas where it does not belong, most often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, outer surface of the uterus, and tissues holding the uterus, but can be found almost anywhere in the body. Endometriosis is challenging to identify, and on average takes ten years to diagnose, and when patients are finally diagnosed, greater than 90% have moderate to severe symptoms. Acquired Technologies – Adductomics Technology On March 21 , 2025, Pearsanta acquired certain patents related to the detection and analysis of DNA adducts. DNA adducts are chemically modified nucleotides that result from exposure to carcinogens and other damaging agents, serving as early indicators of genomic instability and increased cancer risk. The acquired technology includes proprietary mass-tag enhancements designed to improve the sensitivity and specificity of DNA adduct detection across a full genomic landscape. Pearsanta intends to develop this platform to enable a comprehensive, panoramic assessment of DNA adducts using urine, blood, or solid tissue samples. This approach aims to provide actionable insights into DNA damage before mutations occur, offering the potential to identify environmental or biological factors that contribute to cancer risk. The development roadmap includes further validation of the technology and the creation of commercially available diagnostic kits. While still in the early stages, Pearsanta anticipates that additional development over the next two to three years will advance this platform toward clinical and commercial applications. ADIVIR, INC. Formed in April of 2023, Adivir™, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary, dedicated to the clinical and commercial development of innovative products, including anti-viral and other anti-infective products, for population health. These products have the potential to address a wide range of infectious diseases, including those that currently lack viable treatment options. Background On April 18, 2023, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Cellvera Global Holdings LLC (“Cellvera Global”), Cellvera Holdings Ltd. (“BVI Holdco”), Cellvera, Ltd. (“Cellvera Ltd.”), Cellvera Development LLC (“Cellvera Development” and together with Cellvera Global, BVI Holdco, Cellvera Ltd. and Cellvera Development (the “Sellers”), AiPharma Group Ltd. (“Seller Owner” and collectively with the Sellers, “Cellvera”), and the legal representative of Cellvera, pursuant to which, the Company will purchase Cellvera’s 50% ownership interest in G Response Aid FZE (“GRA”), certain other intellectual property and all goodwill related thereto (the “Acquired Assets”).

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the consideration for the Acquired Assets consists of (A) $24.5 million, comprised of: (i) the forgiveness of the Company’s $14.5 million loan to Cellvera Global, and (ii) approximately $10 million in cash, and (B) future revenue sharing payments for a term of seven years. GRA holds an exclusive, worldwide license for the antiviral medication, Avigan® 200mg, excluding Japan, China and Russia. The other 50% interest in GRA is held by Agility, Inc. (“Agility”). Additionally, upon the closing, the Share Exchange Agreement previously entered into as of December 28, 2021, between Cellvera Global Holdings, LLC f/k/a AiPharma Global Holdings, LLC (together with other affiliates and subsidiaries) and the Company, and all other related agreements will be terminated. The obligations of the Company to consummate the Closing are subject to the satisfaction or waiver, at or prior to the Closing of certain conditions, including but not limited to, the following: (i) Satisfactory completion of due diligence; (ii) Completion by the Company of financing sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement; 8 (iii) Receipt by the Company of all required Consents from Governmental Bodies for the Acquisition, including but not limited to, any consents required to complete the transfer and assignment of Cellvera’s membership interests in GRA; (iv) Receipt of executed payoff letters reflecting the amount required to be fully pay all of each of Seller’s and Seller Owner’s Debt to be paid at Closing; (v) Receipt by the Company of a release from Agility; (vi) Execution of an agreement acceptable to the Company with respect to the acquisition by the Company of certain intellectual property presently held by a third party; (vii) Execution of an amendment to an asset purchase agreement previously entered into by Cellvera with a third party that effectively grants the Company the rights to acquire the intellectual property from the third party under such agreement; (viii) Receipt of a fairness opinion by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement; and (ix) Receipt by the Company from the Seller Owner of written consent, whether through its official liquidator or the Board of Directors of Seller Owner, to the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities pursuant to the Assert Purchase Agreement. In October 2024, the Company received notice that Cellvera was the subject of a liquidation proceeding and that a liquidator had been appointed by the order of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. As a result, the Company does not presently believe that the proposed acquisition of Cellvera will be completed as proposed or at all. Our commitment to building our antiviral portfolio is strategic and timely. We believe that there has never been a more important time to address the growing global need to uncover new treatments or commercialize existing ones that treat life-threatening global viral infections. Employees We twenty-six (26) full time employees as of December 31, 2024. We consider the relations with our employees to be good.
